Answer:

(x-9)(x-3)

Explanation:

Look to the number on the right, 27, and list out the factors. (1 and 27, 3 and 9, -1 and -27, -3 and -9)

Next, find the factors that would equal the middle number, -12, when added. -3 and -9 add to -12. Therefore, choose these numbers and put them in the form (x-9)(x-3).
